Easy Primitive Country Magnets

Hi Everyone,

I know!  I know!  It’s been forever since I posted on my blog.  We did get a new computer which goes in lightning speed (something I’ve never been accustomed to) and so maybe I’ll do more on the computer now.

Today I’m sharing some quick and easy magnets I made.  I have saltboxes and Americana decor in my house so I’m always on the lookout for cute magnets for my fridge because everything gets posted there and I never have enough magnets.  Well, cute ones:)  I found some mini tiles I’d gotten a long time ago to craft magnets with peel and stick decals and so I decided I’d print out some cute saltbox graphics from online and Mod Podge those into magnets.  Of course my printer was out of color ink so I was going through some old country catalogs and found some photos of some cute sheep and saltboxes so I cut those out and used those.

I just cut the image to size and applied a thin coat of Mod Podge to attach it.  Then went over it with Mod Podge.  Don’t put too thick a layer or it will wrinkle.  After it dried it looked too stark around the edges so I sponged on some ink to give it kind of an aged look and that worked great.  I added magnets and that’s it.

These shine and are so pretty in person but it’s hard to get that in the photo without a reflection getting in the way.

Have a creative day,
